Isn't it interesting that the top two scenarios have fatal bugs?

A fatal bug is one that makes winning impossible? Because I sure completed Bahssikava, and I'm definitely not the only one...

What was MA's fatal bug? Unless you mean in Ivalice (the town) where one string is too long...

I kinda changed that to make it work...

EVERY scenario has fatal bugs. That's the problem with BoA.

Bahssikava, Bahssikava, Bahssikava, come on everybody! Sing it with me! :D
Bahssikava, Bahssikava, Bahssikava, Bahssikava, Bahssikava, Bahssikava...
Can't wait for Exodus. I KNEW there would be a sequel! :D :) :) :)

Applause and congratulations (but most of all applause) for your frighteningly wonderful games! They're so good, you could probably sell them to people even though it's illegal. :) :D :D

They don't have to. That's just a cop out.

The only thing I fear of after readinf the description of Exodus, is the "time limit" piece. I'm not so sure I would like an other (allbeit improved) Zha-kazi run. I'm still waiting for it to come out. I love to see how other designers design their scenario's :P

A cop out? Drakey, wtf? (For the record, I have fixed every reported bug that I can replicate. The Fly-Retreat bug is the only one I haven't managed to fix.)

Thralni: There will be no time limit. This is a response to the failures of ZKR, not an attempt to replicate them. :P

It's not necessarily directed at you, but at all other designers who haven't fixed bugs. Saying that the program is fundamentally flawed (even though it might be) instead of trying to and fixing bugs is a cop out. Since you've fixed the bugs, it just proves my point, doesn't it?

I was saying that the scenarios end up being so complicated (and so significantly branching) that designers can't possibly test everything. We have to rely on players to report things.

And sometimes players don't report things for a looooooong time.

The fatal bug Drake is referring to occurs if you try to skip the first cutscene in Bahss. Not sure about the others.

It only occurs on Windows, in earlier versions of the scenario.

I ran into it with the latest Mac version, where t6ivalice doesn't load.

Isn't it obvious? Drake made it up, since TM can't refute it right now. :P

That's TM. It's just that he's in writing-for-an-English-class mode instead of writing-for-the-forums mode. :P
